4.5 out of 5 (34 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Aww, c'mon -- it's not that bad!"
Sound: This is a matter of wide debate. The amp doesn't clean up perfectly, that's true. Now, that said, running 2x12 Greenbacks in an open Geezer Sound slant front cab plus a Vintage 30 and G12H in a closed-back Dr. Z "Z-Best" cab on the bottom, it's pretty damn impressive sounding to me. It needs a lot of dialing in. It has all these controls on it, all of which are entirely unnecessary and in fact work against the tone. That's all true. But I just found a place to leave them and just forget that thery're even there. Do I wish they weren't there? Yes. For this price, is that a show-stopper? Nope. Feature: It has too many features. Just a clean signal path with a volume and a tone stack is all that was needed. It would be a great amp at that point, and probably could be even less expensive than it already is. Ease of Use: Have to get past all the excess crapola. Once that's done, turn it on and off -- big whup. Quality: The fit and finish is fine. It's not a boutique item and no one would ever mistake it for one. But it looks nice enough. Is it rugged? I really don't know -- I'm not about to bang it around if I can avoid it. It doesn't strike me as fragile, but I'm guessing it isn't exactly bulletproof. Value: High marks here. I happened to pick up a B stock for a nice savings. But even at regular price, it's a good value for the money. I'd easily gig with this head if I ever ended up in a situation where such power was appropriate. I purchased it just to have it in stock for that purpose, but normally gig with 15W - 30W through 2 x 10s or 2 x 12s. Manufacturer Support: N/A. The Wow Factor: It's not UN-attractive, but it's not overly attractive either. What's most interesting is 100W worth of EL34s for a great price. Overall: I'm always looking for inexpensive ways to extend the palette. It's not about finding a silver bullet solution, but to have a range of tools to choose from depending on the situation. I use 100W so infrequently that it makes no sense for me to invest in a high price boutique head. I did make that investment for a MAZ-18, right in the sweet spot of the power I like best for small clubs. That amp is a tone machine, no doubt, and I'll end up buying one of his Route 66s also. But I just found one of those leftover Vietnamese-made Crate Palomino 30 W combos with one 12" Celestion in it (I'm guessing the Model Seventy-80 but not certain.) Not the same as the MAZ-18 exactly, but hey! I'll gig with the Crate just in case some dork spills beer my way. Like the Crate to the Z-amp, the Windsor head does most of the job a boutique head would do for a mere fraction of the money. I like that idea. That's a perfect example of the 80-20 Rule: get 80 percent there for 20 percent of the cost. Cool by me. The only thing one has to watch is that reliability stuff -- some manufacturers have been horrible in that regard. But Peavey has always been solid, so I feel I can trust their product maybe a little more than the well-known German-based cost leader.

"The Dead have arisen The South wil rise again...Good Anp and Guitar will travel..."
Sound: I am old. Been playing since 1965-had all kinds of amps and eqt. I really like this amp. I heard that you couldnt get a clean sound. But running stright up at 12 o clock gives the amp I have a great clean sound. I think it sounds like an old vox ac30. I also have an old amppag v22 and that is also a bright and nice amp...so with the two I am set. I run the amp through a fender botton of 4 12s. I dont need killer sound.. I just need a good sound that brings out the blues and the old rock classics. This amp will do that. Feature: It is a good 60-70s amp. Reverb would have been ok but my other amp has a real good reverb.. no Harvey had a great Idea and it shows. I will give him creit here. Ease of Use: Its easy if you take time and play it a while. Its like driving a car.. Learn how it handles.. then push it to the metal. Quality: Its about 40lbs..that heavey enough for me. Seams like it is built to handle the road. Value: I always buy used and that way seem to come out ok...I got great value out of this amp. It had 5 hours on it when I bought it Manufacturer Support: ? Hvent needed yet. The Wow Factor: It is like the 60,s and 70,s made to work and live a little longer...its not bang bang your dead. Overall: I am set for life...now just have to find some old duds that still play and want to plays southern rock and the blues.
